    that is...dont give up the day job;)

    1.there is feck all markup on hardware and you knows it.
    2.if you think that the gamer/modding junkies on this forum or anywhere else in this country for that matter are gonna shop anywhere else but the UK/Holland/US/ebay then you are dillusional.
    3.there are far easier ways to make money than to put up with whining whinging moaning customers on a day to day basis.

    This is completely true. Tried the same lark some years back. Utter madness! You don't know for what you may be letting yourself in.

    Well if you sell the pc's without an os,motherboard drivers,graphics drivers etc installed like a majority of the companies do, then the hassle will be cut down by alot....

    A friend of mine at work builds a few pc's every year for friends,family, other work colleagues etc and never ever installs an os, drivers etc for them when he builds them...He lets them sort all that stuff out, as thats where the majority of the work/time is...

    It also gives the illusion of a cheaper computer without an..but surely I'd have to provide the service of installing it if I want to sell computers to people who wouldn't know what an OS even means!?
